Forum Notifications and Progressive Web App

[Pete]

Hi all, if you log in since Friday and click the Notifications (bell) icon in the forums then you should see this message which allows the forums to send alerts for messages and topics you are subscribed to via browser notifications.

There is also PWA (Progressive Web App) feature that I've enabled so you may also see "Install to Home Screen" as an option for both Android and iOS.

If the PWA works as intended, you will have an app icon on your device and, I think, notification badges should appear there too, so if you're like me and have had email notifications switched on for followed content you can edit your notification settings and change this to Notification List I think. Apologies for the vagueness but the forum docs are a little unclear in places.

It is all optional and if you don't want to use either feature you don't have to of course.

It appears the notifications on mobile when you use the PWA feature are in InvisionCommunity version 5 (we're on the latest 4.x branch) so that's coming later™ - major version upgrades in this forum software are usually complete rewrites 😅
